This Weekend with JCC and around town: FRI, Oct 13 – Sun, Oct 15
FRI, Oct 13
- Community Event: NORDIC WALKING with Ellen Chandler
8am • Valley Cross Road Parking Lot, Jackson- Fridays – Intervals with poles (more like hill bounding (Oct. 13, 20, 27) –
- Also takes place on Tuesdays @ 8am: Nordic WALKING – after a warm up we walk about 2 miles using poles and reconnecting at the top of major hills.
- Fridays are Nordic Walking & Striding/”Moosehoofing” (a little faster) intervals. Even though the pace is a little faster for some, we use “time” as the measure, so everyone can reconnect on the way back down the hill.
- Both of these activities are, in the end, self directed. It’s like yoga, “your practice is your practice,” but it’s more fun in a group.
- Here is a video link (sorry for the various ads) that explains Nordic Walking and “Moosehoofing”.
- This is a “meet up” type of activity, no charge.
- Needed equipment: ski poles are better than trekking poles, but don’t let pole-specificity get in the way of joining. I wear my “second best running shoes,” not the best because it can be wet and muddy; but light hikers work, too. Plus the usual sun and tick repellents.
